That's probably because /dev/null is not a directory. I guess the safest thing to do would be to create a directory in /var such as /var/home and use that as home directory. Next to that, you appearantly need a .login_conf in the $HOME directory. Don't worry, be Kneppie! Jan "Thomas Krause, CI" wrote: > Hi all, > > we are using the ipop3d from the UW Imapd.
